The Warriors have assigned rookie guard Jacob Evans and two-way guard Damion Lee to their G-League affiliate in Santa Cruz.

Evans – who the Warriors drafted 28th overall in June – is averaging 0.5 points, 0.4 rebounds in four minutes but has failed to make an appearance in game action in three of the last four games.

Lee, the Warriors’ two-way guard, is averaging 4.9 points in 15 appearances, shooting 43 percent from 3-point range this season, including a five-point, two rebound performance in Friday’s win over the Kings.

Both players will be available for Saturday night’s G-League game against the Erie Bayhawks at Kaiser Permanente Arena.
